What happened to Korea, Japan and rest of East Asia in this timeline?
Empire of Great Fusang
Yes, me too
Only one tiny remark to 1st map: Galicia is mostly quite flat, which probably cannot be said about Dalmatia, which is at least as mountainous as, lets say, central Bohemia, if not more
anyone got a blank map of hawaii? Could use one for an ISOT game I'm planning.
Do you want M-BAM, 8K-BAM, VT-BAM, or Examap? There's tons of pixelated Hawaii maps around here.
“While political polarization a long history in this country, in retrospect, historians variously point to the 2016 or 2020 election as the year in which erstwhile political polarization over social issues transformed into social polarization over political issues. Consensus over the issues of the previous half century – abortion, gay rights, recreational marijuana, and gun ownership – was largely reached, and climate change would soon create new opportunities for political consensus, but the political camps of ‘Red America’ and ‘Blue America’ became ever more entrenched, each with its own news media, entertainment industries, institutions, and increasingly salient cultural identities. Federal gridlock and inaction sped-up the growth in regionalism by ceding (or returning) decision-making power to State governments, which often acted in partisan ways. Although the United States did not (despite predications at the time) descend into civil war, sporadic and high-profile terrorist attacks raised distrust on both sides, and, starting in the 2030s, patterns of ‘Red Flight’ and ‘Blue Flight’ left more communities and states increasingly homogenous as to their political leaning.
Without meaningful political or electoral reform, America was destined to remain a two-party system. Without a reversal of the trends leading to cultural polarization, however, the United States increasingly resembled two countries, each with their own two-party system.”

The European Federation at the start of 2060

Hey all, been a while, life has been rather up and down and this map is a bit old and I have posted it in a few discord servers, but I still think I would like to show it off! So here y'all are!

Federalist and Unitary at the same time?
Different types of maps, sorted in size from smallest to largest.
I think a VT-BAM would be the best fit to create a large enough map for your Hawaii map game.
After another hiatus, the continuation of my timezone ISOT series.

Regions transported: Alaska (exc. Aleutian Islands), French Polynesia (Gambier Islands)
In a flash, America's last frontier became its only frontier between human civilisation and the vast untouched wilderness that now stretched across the continent. With the export markets for the North Slope's oil dried up and transiting cargo flights no longer calling at Anchorage, Alaska's economy was forced to pivot towards more basic needs such as food supply. Fortunately, the now empty Yukon and Canadian Pacific coast provided Alaskans with much needed cultivable land and soon new towns were appearing along the Stikine, Peace and Fraser Rivers. As these new towns grew, Juneau accordingly carved out new boroughs from the vast unorganised borough which now theoretically encompassed much of northwestern North America. In the north and west, political changes were also made as the boroughs with significant indigenous populations were given a degree of autonomy, partially to allow the central government to focus on the south and east. Some of Alaska's indigenous people went further still, cross the Bering Sea to set up their own independent nations in the Aleutian Islands, Chukotka and Kamchatka. Providing for all the newly settled areas and connecting them in time drove a reversal in fortune for the oil and aviation industries with black gold once again becoming an important part of the Alaskan economy.
Alaska's most remote outpost wasn't in the frozen north though, but far to the south in Hawaii where a small community of Asian Alaskans and European Alaskans had encountered bands of Polynesians from the south. From this formed the multinational Kingdom of Hawaii. The Polynesians had sailed north from the Gambier Islands, via the Marquesas and Kiritimati, as the Mangarevans re-established their pre-colonial lifestyles of establishing seasonal and transitory settlements on outlying rocky islands such as the Marquesas but also Rapa Nui and Rapa Iti.

Experimenting with a new style, using a new drawing tablet and a new software (Krita). Usually not a fan of thick coasts like this so will likely change it to be thinner. What do people think? Looking for as detailed (or savage) feedback as possible as I am essentially rebuilding from the ground up a new map style.
I would like to thank Cyowari for this map, which help me a lot in the location of tribes and cities. This map also got a lot of influence from Alternate History Hub video on the subject (there are like 3 of them but I link the first one)
Rome was once a promising city, having expanded through parts of Italy, everything seems to be going fine for them, up until in the year 390 BC, when several Gallic tribes attacked the city, and sack the entire city, where they decided that in fear of possible retribution, to destroy the entire city, burning it to the ground with only a few surviving. Those few fled down south to found the city of Rume. Rume lasted for a few more decades as a small city-state, up until their conquest by the Etruscans. Down south, Carthage, once a small Phonecian colony in North Africa, has grown over the centuries to become the superpower of the Mediterranean Sea, having land in Iberia, Southern Italy, North Africa, and as far east as the Ionian Islands. Having created a trade empire, they grew rich trading with several tribes up north as they began to evolve into cities and eventually petty kingdoms. The Carthaginians would soon look towards the east to Egypt and the Greek states, in hopes of expanding their trade and influence there. The Greek states with the decline of the Macedonian Empire would continue to fight against each other, eventually uniting under 3 states, Athens, Sparta, Crete and Ambracia. Macedonia would see itself under decline but by 815 the kingdom continues on despite its noticeable state. Up north, the Illyrians and Dacians who were once squabbling tribes have united into hereditary kingdoms as well as taken over several Greek colonies. The Gauls after the destruction of Rome would continue to see themselves squabble with other tribes, who eventually evolve into petty kingdoms. Soon they would unite with Senones (having created a city) being their new capital. The Germanic tribes would see themselves expanding south into the Alps, assimilating several Celtic tribes there. Eventually, they too united under a monarch, and regularly go to war with their rivals, the Gauls. The Pannonians having been split from the rest of the Celts by the Germanics would become a hyper militarized state with fears of being invaded by the Germanics or the Dacians. The Huns like in our timeline continue to expand into Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, and although they continue on, have seen a decline in power and have lost several territories to other kingdoms. The Persians under the Sasanians would expand into Anatolia but end their expansion there knowing the Greeks as well as the Carthage, a major rival to them. The Armenians and Colchis remain neutral to the Persians but don't like the Huns who have attempted to invade them. Egypt is still a powerful kingdom in North Africa, although their relations with Carthage remain mixed between allies at one point and enemies at other. Judea still remains with the Egyptians and Arabs not really caring about them to do anything. The Ummayad Caliphate is still around but with a stronger Persia, they have less of an interest to expand up north into the Levant. Religion wise Christianity and Islam still exist, however they are much smaller. With Christianity being in Armenia, the Greek States, several parts of the Levant, Judea and Egypt. Meanwhile, Islam is mostly in the Ummayad Caliphate, parts of the Levant, parts of Persia, and parts of Egypt and a small minority in Carthage. The rest of Europe and North Africa remain pagan with the older Celtic, German and other religions remaining alive and well. Carthage while the power of Europe may see itself fracture as all empires do, and remain to be seen yet.
Lake Superior, but it has several phantom islands.
I’m going to show this to my friends and bet them money if they can tell me which islands are real and which aren’t.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
